Pediatrics For Parents emphasizes an informed, common-sense approach to
childhood health care. We stress preventative action, accident prevention,
when to call the doctor and when and how to handle a situation at home. We
are also looking for articles that describe general, medical and pediatric
problems, advances, new treatments, etc. All articles must be medically
accurate and useful to parents with children -- prenatal to adolescence.
Pediatrics For Parents is not a general parenting magazine and will not
consider such material.

Professional Submissions by Medical and Dental Authorities: We will
consider articles previously published in professional journals if
rewritten for our lay audience. All articles must be in an active voice,
avoiding medical language while adhering to our strict standards of factual
accuracy. Explanatory articles on body functions, disease processes and
treatment approaches would be on target. We are also looking for articles
on wellness, prevention, and modes of interaction between children, parents
and medical and dental professionals.

Submissions by Non-Medical and Dental Authorities: We are interested in
original, well researched, factual, and informative articles on topics
described above. Articles must be authoritative and specific with reference
citations accompanying each article. We are not particularly interested in
"first person stories" unless they are extremely moving or contain a large
amount of information.

Submission Requirements: All articles must be typed, single spaced, and
have 1 inch margins. Use block paragraph style as exemplified by this page.
Don't use proportional spacing or full justification. Capitalize the first
letter of titles, subtitles, etc. Use single space to separate sentences,
etc. Put your name, address and phone number on a title page only and not
on subsequent pages. Don't number your pages. Please stable the pages of
your articles. Copies are acceptable.

Submission Format- Electronic: Articles should be on a 3 1/4 floppy disks
that are Macintosh compatible. We can translate IBM compatible disks. We
also accept submissions sent via E-mail. We do not publish photographs,
although drawings and diagrams may be used. If you wish to have your
article, diagrams and drawings, or computer disk returned, please send a
self-addressed stamped envelope. Otherwise, articles cannot be returned.
Articles will be returned within 6-8 weeks if not accepted. We will
consider reprints.

Fillers and Short Articles: We do accept these items. We follow the same
guidelines as above.

Length: 150-200 words.

Payment: Our pay schedule varies depending on the type of article, its
length, and our needs. Payment is also influenced by the quality of
expression, importance of topics, amount of research and/or expertise
involved. We generally pay between $5 and $50 per article. Payment is on
publication.

Sample Copy: We strongly recommend you read a couple issues of the
newsletter the get a flavor for our publication. Sample copies are
available for $3 each, postage paid.
